It's funny that you mention the difference in the 'look" of the two cars from the front. I actually chose the V6 over the V8 for the look! I agree the LT version just looks sexier to me (smoother lines and grill) where the V8 looks more aggressive. That was excellent design on the part of GM to come up with two models that would appeal to two groups looking at such subtle differences

I'm getting a 2LT/RS in IOM (I pick it up in Austin, TX tomorrow) and that is about as opposite of white as you can get lol. Today driving to work in my late model black Honda Accord, I noticed a lot of white cars and I'm really glad I'm not getting white now.

It sounds like you've decided on ABM and that's probably the right decision for you. Both colors show the lines (curves) of the car well, and white is definitely sharp but won't grab attention as much as ABM. ABM is a very unique color and will catch the eye from much further away.

I don't know what kind of driver you are, but I'm a Type A and a very aggressive or assertive (lol) driver. So the bad news is I'll have to tone down some of that assertiveness while driving both a car and a color that stand out so much, but it's a trade off I'm willing to at least try to make

Regardless of the color, it's a great car and very fun to drive. I rented a rally yellow one this past weekend and from experience, every guy in a Dodge truck or muscle car will want to race you, or flirt with you, or both

Congratulations and your decision and I hope you are able to sell your other car soon.
HA! reading this i could have sworn i wrote it lol! i'm the same way, with the exception of the iom! i think ABM and IOM are two of the most original colors for this car though! so in a way we are the same there lol!

i'm also a very aggreassive or assertive driver. that's one thing i am a little nervous about with the camaro. i've heard some stories about the blind spots that worry me. but i'm trying to start now and not be so much that way. i'm trying to be patient and not just cut over in to the other lane. i always look but with the camaro i know that the blind spots will make that a little more difficult.

i've definitely decided back on ABM. it was my first choice and i think i knew all along that i would decide on it but i even changed my desktop pic to a white one i found! LOL! but it's back to the abm now! if i could just order it now i would be ecstatic!
